We've always had Ouzo, but in the old days it was Metaxa, and now the only one the liquor stores in Regina have is No.12.
Why did they bring your friend Ouzo when she ordered water?

Re: Teatime Choices
 

The water came just a bit later, the Ouzo was a free aperitif, but she didn't realise. :(

Re: Teatime Choices
 

It's a good one to order straight if you suspect a bar is watering their booze. :lol:

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Does anyone eat kippers at supper time? I've usually had them for breakfast (Christmas most often), but have been craving kippers and morning hasn't been convenient.
Edit: Thawing out now - committed.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

If I could find them here, then I definitely would. I'm having to make do with smoked mackerel, which is a very poor substitute for a kipper, but fine in other dishes. The last time I had kippers was in Scotland about seven years ago, and then they were only available for breakfast in the hotel.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

The ones we get here are Neptune from Dundee, quite salty but I poach them in water and milk first to get most of it out then fry them in butter.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Drib, drib, dribbling now. :(

I just checked on the Brit shop website where I found the sausages, and they have kipper fillets from Youngs, making the 260km round trip slightly more enticing - they won't ship fresh stuff.

However I have a good mate who's just moved to within 10km of the shop, I'm due to go up and visit him early next year. Patience... :unsure:

Paired with Rebellion Brewing Amber Ale.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Good grief, now I'm trembling, that looks so good. :thumb:

Never thought of pairing them with ale, probably because I've only been used to having them at breakfast time.

Not that I'm averse to a beer in the morning, but it only tends to happen once every three or four years.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

When I have it for breakfast I like a little Scotch or Irish whiskey.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Sounds good to me, I'll report back as and when... ;)

Re: Teatime Choices
 

LOVE Metaxa Brandy -


I used to really enjoy smoked haddock, my Mum used to poach them in a little milk. I've never got on with Kippers - mainly due to the multitude of small bones.

:D

Re: Teatime Choices
 

I took mild Italian sausage meat and mixed it up with chopped shrimp and red onion, made little patties then battered and deep fried them, and used Stubb's Sweet Black Pepper Anytime Sauce as a dip.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Yesterday had good old egg and chips. Actifried chips. Fantastic.

St Hubert shrimp and salmon pie today. They really are very good.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

I'd try that. No Frills was supposed to have St Hubert tourtierre 2 sales ago but they never had any in stock - only chicken and broccoli.
